Bollywood actor and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut has taken a swipe at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in response to his comments on patriarchy, following the uproar over actor Kriti Sanon's attire in a Rakshabandhan advertisement. The BJP shared an Instagram post satirizing Gandhi's remarks and Ranaut endorsed it with a pointed message: "Bro, wait. Bharat Mata ki Jay. Shuru karte hain." The post highlighted the Congress' stance on women's representation, including the Women's Reservation Bill, triple talaq, and the Shah Bano case, using a series of illustrations. Ranaut's response came after Gandhi defended Sanon over criticism of her outfit, stating that a woman's choice of attire should not be scrutinized. The controversy began when Sanon appeared in the advertisement wearing an Indo-Western ensemble featuring a bralette-skirt combination. The debate on social media centered around women's freedom of choice, cultural norms, and the appropriateness of the advertisement for Rakshabandhan. Earlier, Ranaut had criticized Sanon's outfit, questioning her decision to wear "bikini or undergarments" while tying a Rakhi to her brother. Sanon later responded, arguing that a woman's respect for culture should not be judged by her clothes. The controversy unfolds amidst Gandhi's recent comments on patriarchy and women's rights, where he emphasized the independence of women and criticized the idea of female subjugation under male authority at different stages of life.
